Making gingerbread houses for Christmas time, is a Pack family tradition.
Grandpa Pack is always the architect, which makes sense, because even as a little boy Grandpa was building everyday. Grandpa Pack moved every year until he was eighteen, because his Dad built the LDS churches all over the Midwest. Grandpa Pack, would go to school, and as soon as school was out, he'd go to the church building site and help with the building. This has come to great use for Grandpa Pack, because he knows how to build everything!!! And, he even built the house I lived in, in Utah....
Grandma Pack is always the mastermind behind the decorating. Grandma also is very creative in her selection of candies that she buys to adorn the house with. When I was little Grandma Pack would always make the icing from scratch, and direct Grandpa on certain things too ;)
Now when we build houses, Daddy always has to finish the houses because Mommy and the kids seem to lose the attention span needed for this project. Daddy, as an artist always does a great job making the finishing touches!
